These famous quotes and safari sayings will literally make you fall in love with Africa!

“If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.” John Hemingway (American author)

“Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates? You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above.” Francesca Marciano (Italian novelist and filmmaker; extract from “Rules of the Wild”)

“Africa has her mysteries and even a wise man cannot understand them. But a wise man respects them.” Miriam Makeba (South African singer and civil rights activist)

“Africa is not a country, but it is a continent like none other. It has that which is elegantly vast or awfully little.” L. Douglas Wilder (American politician)

Africa is my home! Africa is a home of culture and mighty ethnic groups. So we thank nature for giving us this beautiful place Swoness (African Historian, Author and Artist)

“Nothing but breathing the air of Africa, and actually walking through it, can communicate the indescribable sensations. ”William Burchell (English explorer)

“The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa — for he has so much to look forward to.” Richard Mullin (Origin unknown)

"I don't know how well this would get on, but I'd probably live in Africa...as a job, it would probably be a safari guide." Prince Henry (nicknamed Harry also called Prince Harry - British Prince, Soldier and Philanthropist)

“You can’t hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree. You can’t hate Africa and not hate yourself.” Malcolm X (American Muslim minister and human rights activist)

“Africa — You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.” Jodi Picoult (American author)

“If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again.” Karen Blixen (Danish author best known for “Out of Africa”, her account of living in Kenya)

“I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.” Ernest Hemingway (American author and journalist)

“When you leave Africa, as the plane lifts, you feel that more than leaving a continent you’re leaving a state of mind. Whatever awaits you at the other end of your journey will be of a different order of existence.” Francesca Marciano (Italian novelist and filmmaker; extract from “Rules of the Wild”)

“Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.” W. C. Fields (American actor and writer)

“It’s really beautiful. It feels like God visits everywhere else but lives in Africa.” Will Smith (American actor and producer)

"Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths? Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago?” Brian Jackman (freelance writer best known for his interest in wildlife and wild places — especially Africa)

“In Africa you have space…there is a profound sense of space here, space and sky.” Thabo Mbeki (former South African president)

“Everything in Africa bites, but the safari bug is worst of all.” Brian Jackman (freelance writer best known for his interest in wildlife and wild places — especially Africa)

“The biggest lesson from Africa was that life’s joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields; they laughed all the time.” Andrew Shue (American actor)

“For as long as I can remember, I have been passionately intrigued by ‘Africa,’ by the word itself, by its flora and fauna, its topographical diversity and grandeur; but above all else, by the sheer variety of the colors of its people, from tan and sepia to jet and ebony.” Henry Louis Gates (Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University)

“The Most hazardous part of our expedition to Africa was crossing Piccadilly Circus." Joseph Thomson (Scottish explorer)
